Problem is my dealer charges £97 an hour just to take a "look" into this problem.

I would therefore appreciate it if anyone knows anything or has heard of this problem?

Also does anyone know where the electronic parking brake module is located?? At £97 an hour, i may as well employ myself to have a good look at the wiring around this module for any obvious faults


Muchas gracias!
The early S80 like yours did have a problem with some control units failing , If there is is a live and earth going to the unit yet they cant communicate with it , It has to be faulty .
Yes a new module will need car specific software at a dealer to activate it .
